THE PARADOX OF SELFISHNESS

Being selfish in an unselfish Earth is counterproductive.

For nature itself was designed to be contributory and collaboratory;

a network of mutual support,

a rhythm of giving and receiving

woven into the fabric of creation.

The sun gives light without asking for applause.

The trees breathe life into the air we inhale,

and the rivers pour themselves into oceans without restraint.

Everything in existence finds fulfillment not in isolation,

but in contribution.

Selfishness is the rebellion of a disconnected soul; 

a refusal to participate in the harmony of life.

It may promise gain,

but it yields emptiness;

it may appear strong,

but it decays from within.

The truly wise understand that greatness is never self-serving;

it flows outward, blessing others,

and in doing so, multiplies itself.

For when you give, you expand;

when you withhold, you diminish.

So align with the divine rhythm of generosity,

be a conduit, not a container;

a giver, not a hoarder.

For in a world built on collaboration,

selfishness is self-sabotage,

but selflessness is sovereignty.
